Our Take
The strong-hold version of Curlsmith's finishing hairspray is the last step in a wash-day routine — applied after you've scrunched out your gel cast, it locks the result in place without adding crunch or creating that stiff aerosol feeling. Protein-free formula suits all curl types. It handles UK humidity reasonably well as a defensive final layer, and works on second-day hair to set any refreshed or pieceworked sections. Not a replacement for a proper hold gel beneath it — think of it as a sealant over an already-defined style rather than a hold product in its own right.
